Red wine prevents certain dangers of smoking

Drink a glass before you light a cigarette tobacco prevents problems of veins and arteries and also slows cell aging. The experiment was done on occasional smoking. Now researchers have to figure out if you will have the same effect even on those who smoke daily

A glass of red wine before you light a cigarette can prevent some of the damage caused by smoking. The discovery, published in the scientific journal The American Journal of Medicine, was done by researchers at the University of Saarland in Homburg, Germany.

The wine contains the chemical compounds that protect against short-term damage of artery walls. The scientists wanted to see clearly on the effects of smoking on the blood and arteries of 20 healthy non-smokers who voluntarily inspired three cigarettes after drinking a glass of red wine.

Drink wine prevents the release of micro particles in the blood stream coming from the inner surface of the blood vessels may indicate the potential harm of smoking.

Not only the wine reduces inflammation and slows the decline of telomeres, premature aging determinants. Cells reproduce continuously. Every time a cell reproduces, the DNA remains intact, while the telomeres become shorter. Longer telomeres allow the cells to divide more often. If they get too short to work, cause cellular aging and stop working properly. Usually they get shorter with age, although they may become shorter due to stress, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet. The shortening of telomeres is linked to all aspects of the aging process.

Usually in smokers telomeres fall by 56%, but the German experiment showed that if before you drink a glass of wine the decline is reduced by “only” 20 percent.

The experiment was done on occasional smoking. Now researchers have to figure out if you will have the same effect even on those who smoke on a daily basis.
